Default Need a headlight upgrade

Looking to upgrade from the sealed beams on my '97 Z28. I have heard that there are retrofit kits to do this. If anyone can provide some info/links I would greatly appreciate it.

check out eurolamps to convert these to replaceable bulbs. Eurolamps will also allow you to install HID rather easily. I just ordered a set, but i'm sure some others will chime in with their experience.

I've thought about doing a conversion HID kit, but I found somewhere that its easier to buy the bulbs and use RTV sealer to seal the bulb in place. Advance auto sells the silverstar ultras in both low beam and high beam. I might do that soon.

There is no euro light in the market!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for 93-97
when i bought my car an hid kit were on both high and low beam
i changed the high beam to original lights cus hid needs time to light up so u cant light it fast when u are in corner
and low beam hid kit satrted to make problems since all products comes to my country are ****ed up. i decided to choose the original lights by removing hid and seald reguler lamps
there is plan to use hid lights at my fog lights.

There is a complete retrofit kit here with housings:
Speed Inc - Pure Power

If you're wondering, the ballasts and bulbs are from DDM Tuning in those kits.
